| - En feu. En fuego. En ratza. Ar dân.
These are just a few ways to describe Barrio Coreano, and particularly their pulpo taco, a culinary exploration of the combined power of octopus and salsa. All tacos come with a choice of 1 or 3, and paired with the excellent chips and guacamole, one order is perfect. Perfect, truly.
The companion restaurants have, in the foggy and addled memory of this reporter, lived up to the standard set here, but the oyster option sets Barrio apart. Who doesn't love oysters? Well, a friend of mine doesn't - he's allergic to shellfish and keeps using his friend Ana Phylaxis as an excuse to get out of eating them. But other than him, who?
So if you find yourself wandering Koreatown in need of a great Mexican bite, look no further. And if you see this Ana person, tell her to get over shellfish.
